Howard,
I am running SetiQueue and highly recommend it. I went from fighting with
Seti's server for 30 minutes twice a day to get 18 WUs to letting the queue
take care the hassle and getting 32 WUs per day. The program keeps a log
of WUs returned and which computer they were run on.
I just checked the results for my Athlon XP 1800+. It is averaging 4.5
hrs with the last ten runs being 4:28, 4:46, 4:30, 3:57, 3:58, 4:43, 4:48,
4:28, 4:28, and 4:30. I am now getting 99% efficiency (45:01:33 total time
vs 45:01:07 CPU time or a loss of 26 minutes). My nine computers are
averaging 6:51 per run.
I have been using SetiQueue for about five days. You can get SetiQueue at
http://www.nelliott.demon.co.uk/distributed/index.html.; The site is about
setting up a distributed computing farm. The forth entry is "SETI@Home
work unit caching with SETIQ." Click that link and you can download the
software. The help links are very good so it is a snap. It took me about
20-30 minutes to set up. Most of that was walking around to my computers
and changing the proxy settings.
